Just so everyone's aware - this isn't played by a pianist. It's a sample of a sound sample library of piano sounds. To be used in MIDI playback, if I'm not mistaken.

That being said - nice sound library!

[AlexLewiss]

epic arrangement =D however it sounds like someone is playing it =P

its shown in the nice articulated notes/dynamics and slowing down =D

[jubeltr]

yes I think Rachmaninoff es a genius too

[muyy1]

WOW RACHMANINOFF IS A GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chrismanners1]

Waw, this is such a brilliant recording! If it is a MIDI, then it's by far one of the, if not the best I have ever heard! Sounds very very realistic...

@BenMcCormack91 I did find Gavotte and Gigue noticeably devoid of a strong individual core. Is it a lower sugar point in the performance or a computerised compilation of who knows what, I have no idea.

However, do look up the Joyce Hatto case if you like, there you will find a few relevant leads.

[lenucya]

@BenMcCormack91 Asking a hypothetical "how long is the sample?" question I meant that if the structuring involves single sounds, the performer is the person operating the computer program. If the sample is a piece long, obviously, how can I say it mildly, a free use of someone's work is involved. That is why my first question one year ago was: who is the performer? And, obviously, it is not computer, in neither of the two cases.

[lenucya]

@BenMcCormack91 If the human performance is at the root, the rest is just fiddling with some effects. My original point remains: the sustaining and charismatic element of this performance is a human soul. Therefore it is not a reading of computerised "intelligence" which has neither spontaneity nor vulnerability and absolutely void of inspiration and genuine feeling. This is obviously not the case here. My remarks here mostly address the Prelude.

[BenMcCormack91]

So to clarify, it's possible this recording has a root in a human performance. After your first comment, I listened to the video again and realized that that much was probably true. The timing is quirky enough that it wouldn't likely be a computer - though I've borne witness to MIDI playback in Finale making its own special little mistakes and screwing up the timing quite often.

[BenMcCormack91]

@lenucya MIDI or playback methods resembling MIDI are basically just a set of instructions telling the computer when to play back which sound samples. Depending on the software and the sound library, you could specify dynamics, tempo, pedals, etc.

This sort of thing can either be done manually or can take its data from a recording (using yet more software). The data from a recording will include all those mistakes you're talking about. But now it's possible to manipulate them and tweak them.
